Metallica has shared a new video clip accompanied by the following message:

"Creating an album is always a pursuit of perfection, and when it comes to picking the right instrument for the job, looks can be deceiving. In his exclusive So What! interview, James reminisces on the guitars used to create the sound of 72 Seasons, and how he learned not to judge a book by its cover (or rather, a guitar by its paint)."

72 Seasons was released on April 14 via the band’s own Blackened Recordings. Produced by Greg Fidelman with frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track 72 Seasons is Metallica’s first full length collection of new material since 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.
